That one began as a bigger heavy and had been reground quite thin. Naturally, the weakened lower half of the barber's notch was broken-off. I got the angle on the toe to somewhat match the angle on the stabilizer and smiled the edge to flow with it all.
The scales are horn from a horribly worn obscure Sheffield. The bigs and littles were gifts from Babur as I bought a pile of collars from him. A mean shaver, put into proportion. I loved it. Glad Bill does too! I had pics along the way, but were lost in the great computer crash of 2013!
Not much money was spent, just some work!
Here is a thread on the Ator as I did it. Had a lot of fun with it. I wound up awarding shorties to all the 'participants'!

Just a case of going through a pile of broken and worn things and suddenly, it appeared!
Those scales are not so wide for a blade of that width, but the gunstock design worked nicely on it.
Some pitting and defects here and there. Just tried to keep it 'old'!
Certainly another like it won't be seen?"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

I'm gonna keep the Henckels scales for a future blade (maybe someone else will need it??? Anyone, Bueller, Bueller, Bueller..) and I'm going to go through my old horn scales to see what up can find. Thanks for the idea!

Enough of them come with busted pivots! That's the shorty set!
